Dear Mathias, Thank you for resending the URL. I believe I saw this earlier but I did not have time to open the link then. The danger for me in finding out about new instruments is that I might want one. Already when I open the front door to my house a few mandolins fall off of the pile. :)
All the best, Marion -----Original Message----- From: "Mathias Rösel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Mar 16, 2005 3:47 PM To: Lutelist <lute@cs.dartmouth.edu> Subject: Re: Hoffmann Mandora/Gallichon Dear Marion, yes, the mandora in question is a 18th century lute with 6 to 9 courses. There is an recently published article available in the net http://www.marincola.com/ click on LuteBot (left margin), and then #5 (middle). There, you will find Pietro Prosser's thesis on the mandora / the calichon.
